So not corrosive salt then  :)

Take all the covers off and strip phone as far as possible down to the mother board and pop it in the airing cupboard. Leave it there over night, and hopefully should be ok  :y

H had similar, binned the battery, rinsed phone off under the tap, good shake off to get the drips out and left it in the airing cupboard to dry fully expecting a fubar phone, new battery and it was fine. Still going now a year later. Nokia though.  :-/

As long as it has not been switched when wet, once dried fully, it should be ok.  If it was on when it went in then I think a call to the insuracne is in order  :(

Give it a couple of days in bits in the airing cupboard and try it.
May even be worth putting it in a bag of silica gel to draw the moisture out.
